issued by Judge Homes upon the petition
of Professor Emmons, a jury summoned
by the marshal to-day, to try the question
OF the sanity OF Professor Emmons' wife,
whose eccentricities here and in Europe
have been the subject OF newspaper COM
ment. Professor Emmons was represented
by Mr.. Linden Kent as counsel. and Mrs.
Emmons by H. w. Garnett. MIR. Kent
made the opening address by the jury, in
which he reviewed Mr.. and Mrs. Emmons'
married life. Mrs. Emmons. he said, soon
after her married life began to show dis
tressing symptoms of epilepsy, and as long
ago as 1882 she exhibsted eccentrieities
which led her friends to believe her mind
was unsound.
Mr.. Garnett said that he appeared in
this case as the result of an appeal from
DR.. Lineder to save this woman from an
insane asylum. He said that he would
show that the actions of Mrs. Emmons
were not regarded as insane by other
people. He would also show that this
CuAIkc VI luS4ulty was uOV ne'IC 1lICA
Mrs. Emmons had discovered that her hus-
band was unfaithful. In June, 1884, she
found woman in Philadelphia with whom
her husband had had relations and she
purchased from this woman some OF Mr..
Emmons letters. He would show that it
was one of the conditions of the agreement
OF the separation in 1885, that she should
these letters. She did surrender
them ard it was a significant fact that
to have her adiudged insane
began at this time. "Then," said Garrett, |
'Emmons had the letters and she lost her !!
control. II he put her into a mad house
who would believe her story"

BROADWATER-BUTTE.
Will Be Constructed If the
Senate Agrees.

Mr.. Dodge, OF the Montana Central, says
the Butte branch OF the Broadwater Rail-
road will be built if the Senate passes the
right OF way bill. and Mr.. Cleveland ap-
proves it. The construction OF the Mani
toba rood depends on the granting OF a
right OF way through the Northern Mon
tana reservations, and that road is really
the parent OF the Montana Central. The
route OF the Butte branch, as surveyed.
follows the Wickes branch OF the Northern
Pacific to Ii point this side of Jefferson
City. There it turns off toward Boulder,
and will come up the Boulder river and
across by Yankee Doodle gulch. At one
point it will have tunnel almost twice as
long as Mullan tunnel, but heavy grades
and sharp curves will be thus avoided.
Broadwater says that worklnen will be
strung out all along the line from Buford 10
Butte next summer. He is confident OF the
right-of.w bill becoming law.

have blighted the fair Territory Of Utah;
how they have broken the hearts OF the
duped mothers of their children, who were
mostly bastards till kind and merciful
government granted q, quasi legitimacy to
them; how they have robbed the masses
and grown rich, and how many OF them are
now skulking and hiding like thieves and
assassins, the history OF the times tells.
For the present let US follow Apostle
Snow
No instance is recalled in which have
been more perfectly fulfilled the words,
that
The mills OF the Gods grind slowly,
Yet they grind exceeding small,
Though with patience they stand waiting,
With exactness grind they al,'
than that OF the Apostle Lorenzo Snow.
After seventy-twoy years spent as heretofore
outlined. the Nemesis OF justice made ready
and the iron hand of the law goved though
it may have been, was laid upon this man
who blasphemously proclaimed himself
agent OF God to commit crime
against the laws of the American Republic.
With what result will be seen as We pro-
gress.

way Blown Up.
SAN FRANCISCO, January Cat late
hour last night the residents in the vicinity
of Ninth and Harrison streets we're startled
by terrific explosion. Most of them had
retired and being awakened from their
sleep, ran out into the street in their night
clothing. The first impression created was
that an earthquake had shaken down the
buildings. Investigation, however, dis
closed the fact that dynamite cartridge
had been placed in the cable slot on the
railroad and exploded. The basalt rocks
on either side of the slot were found to be
loosened and the masonry badly sha tt tered.
The pulleys upon which the cable rms
were also broken and the foundation of the
tunnel cracked. Window panes in the
vicinity
WE'RE KATTLED VIOLENTLY
at the timo OF the explosion and in many
cases shattered. In saloon two blocks
away a lighted lamp was thrown to
the floor and nearly caused a aconflagration.
Iron plates of the manholes Of the track
were found two hundred feet away, to
which distance they were hurled. IA lady
living in the neighborhood said that a few
minutes before the explosion occurred she
saw two men go to the trap. One of them
lifted the trap and the other took pack
age from his pocket, applied match to it
and lowered it into the cable tunnel. The
men then secreted themselves. The explo-
sion took place Immediately afterward,
and witnesses saw cobblestones and the
machinery OF the trap
FLYING IN ALL DIRECTIONS.
Many OF the awakened women and children
were so afflicted with fright that they went
to the homes of friends to spend the night,
fearful that if they remained in their own
homes another explosion might occur and
shatter them.

A Coal Famine Threatened.

New YORK, January 7.-Should the
strike among the coal beavers of New York
continue for a week longer, there is a strong
probability that this city will suffer from
coal famine. Such, at least, is the opinion
of several retail dealers. They say that
the stock on hand is already at low ebb,
and as the supply has practically ceased
for the time being, they look for a still
greater scarcity within a few days.

ENGLISH BooriShneSs,

ATLANTA, Ga, December Tt has just

refuses to allow the Gate City Guards to

action was taken because Capt. j. S. Burke

make tour of the principal cities of the
arms. By special invitation King Leopold
was to inspect them, and be present at sew
eral OF their public maneuvers.

ED1NBuRa, December 1.-THE Marquis OF
Queensberry, who is being sued for divorce,
Shortly after they began to live apart the
Marquis admitted another woman into his
house, who became a regular inmate OF the
establishment. His connection with this
woman ia made the basis for the suit.
Neither the woman nor the Marquis will
deny the charge of adultery which the Mar
chioness makes against her husband. The
case will be tried in Edinburgh, because the
Scotch law grants a vile divorce for adul-
terry alone.

lutions:
Resolved, That as the Commissioners

with no important intricate business duties,
| they should, as far as the political and
non pa rtisan consideration mentioned in
the bill, be selected with reference to their
experience and knowledge OF the business
interest of the country and that the agri-
cultural, commercial and railroad interest
should all be represented upon such COM

THOUGHTS.

To look wise is no evidence that
you are wise.
Wise men often look like fools.
Never Judge a man or woman by
his or her looks.
A womans actions are often mis-
understood, so don't be too haSty
in propounding questions.
We often judge people by their
dress. There are many honest
hearts under tattered clothes.
Men ale dangerous when they
cannot accomplish a desired end.
Golden opportunities are often
lost 10y negligence.
An ancient philosopher was
once charged with dishonesty, his
motto was, "that he would so live
that the world would not believe
it.
A talkative man or woman is de.
ceitfuI.
Enjoy life while you can, but
do nothing to injure yourself.
Jealousy will often show itself in
the face of an ugly woman or a
poor man.
